Why it matters
Each team gets eight H100s for 24 hours and a shot at a $50k top prize — a rare chance to be compute-rich for a weekend.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Inference-time compute is literally spending more tokens to think harder; this hackathon gamifies the exact trade-off this site obsesses over.
From the organizers
Etched hosts alongside Cognition and Mercor, providing 8x H100s per team plus meals and space, with over $100k in total prizes.
